How long (in months) does it NORMALLY take a 34 yr old to learn to ride?
In all my years of teaching unicycling I’ve had students who’ve taken months to learn to ride. I’ve had others who have learned in a few weeks. And there were those who’ve learned in as little as a few days. I’ve even had a few students who learned in just a few hours on a sunny Saturday. Were any of these students any better than another, more agile, or more physically fit? Possibly, but the one indisputable factor that we can attribute to how quickly or how slowly each student learned to ride is the level of desire to learn and the amount of time spent practicing. The student who took a few months to learn wasn’t very motivated and might have practiced a few minutes a couple times each week. On the other hand the student who learned in one day was so motivated he wasn’t going to bed that night until he learned to ride that unicycle. So how quickly you learn will be in direct proportion to how motivated you are and the amount of time you commit to practice.
